My Latest Snag: Shiseido Facial Cotton.
If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you will know that I have long been a devotee of Shiseido’s facial cotton and have used it for some time now, but I just reordered and thought I’d mention it here in case you’d missed my earlier posts about it. IT IS AMAZING! So much softer and gentler on skin, and much thicker and more absorbent, too. A small but noticeable upgrade to your skincare routine. I use it to remove makeup with Bioderma micellar water.

#Turbothot: What Are Your Favorite Short Stories?
I have been laid up in bed, sick as a dog (I caught what Emory had), for the last two days and I have been more or less incapable of a full thought during that time, so I thought I’d cast out for some input: what are your favorite short stories? I love the form of short fiction — it puts pressure on writers to give shape to something in such a compressed amount of space — and I enjoy the experience of reading something to completion in one sitting. I’d like to read more of it. What do you think of the medium? What are your favorites?
